Matthew 24
1 AND Jesus departing was going his way from the temple: and his disciples came to him, to point out to his observation the buildings of the temple.
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ava mu luggya lwa Yeekaalu, abayigirizwa be ne bajja w’ali okumulaga enzimba ya Yeekaalu,
2 But Jesus said unto them, Do you not see all these things? I tell you of a certainty, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be utterly thrown down.
naye n’abagamba nti, “Bino byonna temubiraba? Ddala ddala mbagamba nti tewaliba jjinja na limu eririsigala nga litudde ku linnaalyo eritalibetentebwa.”
3 Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age? (aiōn g165)
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni, abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamubuuza mu kyama nti, “Ebyo biribaawo ddi? Era kabonero ki akalitegeeza okujja kwo n’enkomerero y’ensi nti eri kumpi?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Jesus answering said unto them, Beware that no man deceive you.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temukkirizanga muntu yenna kubalimbalimba.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive multitudes.
Kubanga bangi balijja mu linnya lyange nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze Kristo’, era balirimba bangi.
6 And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not terrified: for these things must first be, but the end is not yet.
Munaatera okuwulira entalo n’eŋŋambo z’entalo. Temwekanganga, kubanga ebyo biteekwa okubaawo, naye enkomerero eriba tennatuuka.
7 For nation shall be roused up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places.
Amawanga galirwana ne gannaago, n’obwakabaka bulirwana n’obwakabaka, era walibaawo enjala mu bifo bingi ne musisi aliyuuguumya ebifo bingi.
8 Now all these things are the beginning of the travailing pangs.
Naye bino byonna biriba ntandikwa butandikwa ng’ey’okulumwa okuzaala.”
9 Then shall they deliver you up to affliction, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
“Muliweebwayo ne mubonyaabonyezebwa era ne muttibwa, era mulikyayibwa amawanga gonna olw’erinnya lyange.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another.
Era bangi balisendebwasendebwa okukola ebibi, n’abalala baliryamu bannaabwe olukwe, n’abalala ne bakyawagana.
11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many.
Era bannabbi ab’obulimba bangi balijja ne bawubisa abantu bangi.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will grow cool.
Olw’obujeemu okuyinga obungi, era bangi okwagala kwabwe kuliwola.
13 But he that endureth to the end, that man will be saved.
Naye abo abaligumiikiriza okutuuka ku nkomerero be balirokolebwa.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole world for a testimony to all the nations: and then shall come the final close.
Era Enjiri ey’obwakabaka eribuulirwa mu nsi yonna, nga bwe bujulirwa eri amawanga gonna n’oluvannyuma enkomerero n’eryoka etuuka.”
15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, erected in the holy place, (let him that readeth, mark this, )
“Noolwekyo bwe muliraba ‘eky’omuzizo eky’entiisa,’ nnabbi Danyeri kye yayogerako, nga kiyimiridde mu kifo ekitukuvu asoma bino ategeere,
16 then let such as are in Judea flee into the mountains.
n’abo abalibeera mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga mu nsozi.
17 Let not him who is upon the roof go down to take any thing out of his house.
Alibeera waggulu ku kasolya, takkanga kuyingira mu nnyumba ye kubaako byaggyamu.
18 And he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment.
N’oyo alibeera mu nnimiro taddangayo eka okunonayo olugoye lwe.
19 But wo to those who are with child, and have an infant at their breasts in those days!
Naye ziribasanga abakyala abaliba balina embuto, n’abaliba bayonsa mu nnaku ezo.
20 And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on the sabbath.
Naye musabe ekiseera ky’okudduka kireme kutuukira mu biro bya butiti oba ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti.
21 For then the tribulation will be great, such as never was from the beginning of the world, and never more shall be.
Kubanga wagenda kubeerawo okubonyaabonyezebwa okunene ennyo okutabangawo kasookedde ensi ebaawo era tewaliddayo kubaawo kikifaanana.
22 And except those days were shortened, there would be no flesh saved: but for the elect’s sake these days shall be shortened.
Singa ennaku ezo tezakendezebwako, tewandibadde n’omu alokolebwa. Naye olw’abalonde be ennaku ezo zirikendezebwako.
23 Then if any man say unto you, Lo! here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not:
Bwe wabangawo omuntu agamba nti, ‘Kristo ali wano, oba ali wali,’ temubakkirizanga.
24 for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.
Kubanga bakristo ab’obulimba balijja, ne bannabbi ab’obulimba nabo balijja ne bakola eby’amagero n’ebyewuunyo; nga singa kibadde kisoboka, bandilimbyelimbye n’abalonde ba Katonda.
25 Behold, I have forewarned you.
Laba mbalabudde nga bukyali!”
26 Therefore if they say to you, He is in the wilderness; go not out: lo! he is in the secret closets; believe it not.
“Noolwekyo omuntu bw’abagambanga nti Kristo akomyewo ali eri mu ddungu, temugendangayo. Oba nti ali mu bisenge eby’omunda, temukkirizanga.
27 For as the lightning cometh out from the east, and flashes to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Kubanga nga bwe mulaba okumyansa kw’eraddu nga kutabaala ebire okuva ebuvanjuba ne kusala okulaga ebugwanjuba, n’okujja kw’Omwana w’Omuntu bwe kutyo.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Era mukimanyi nti awabeera ekifudde awo ensega we zikuŋŋaanira.”
29 Then, immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
“Amangu ddala ng’okubonyaabonyezebwa “kw’omu nnaku ezo kuwedde, ‘enjuba eriggyako ekizikiza era n’omwezi teguliyaka, n’emmunyeenye zirigwa n’amaanyi g’eggulu galinyeenyezebwa.’”
30 And then shall the sign of the Son of man appear in the heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
“Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo akabonero k’Omwana w’omuntu kalirabika ku ggulu, era walibaawo okukungubaga kw’amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi, era baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja ku bire by’eggulu, mu maanyi ne mu kitiibwa ekinene.
31 And he shall send forth his angels with a trumpet, and a great shout, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities of the same.
Era alituma bamalayika be nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, ne bakuŋŋaanya abalonde be nga babaggya mu mpewo ennya okuva ku ludda olumu olw’eggulu okutuuka ku ludda olulala.”
32 Learn then a parable from the fig-tree; when its branch is now tender, and the leaves shoot forth, ye know that summer is nigh:
“Kale muyigire ku lugero lw’omutiini. Amatabi gaagwo bwe gatandika okutojjera nga mumanya nti ebiseera eby’ebbugumu binaatera okutuuka.
33 just so ye, when ye behold these things, know that it is near, even at the gates.
Noolwekyo nammwe bwe muliraba ebintu ebyo byonna, nga mumanya nti ekiseera kiri kumpi, era kisemberedde ddala ku luggi.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away until all these things shall be done.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, omulembe guno teguliggwaawo okutuusa ng’ebintu ebyo byonna bituukiridde.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo naye ebigambo byange tebiriggwaawo.”
36 But of that day and hour no man knoweth, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father alone.
“Naye eby’olunaku olwo wadde essaawa tewali n’omu abimanyi, newaakubadde bamalayika ab’omu ggulu nabo tebakimanyi, wadde Omwana, okuggyako Kitaffe yekka.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
Kubanga nga bwe kyali mu biseera bya Nuuwa, okujja kw’Omwana w’Omuntu nakwo bwe kuliba.
38 For as they were in the days preceding the deluge, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Nga bwe kyali mu biseera by’amataba, abantu nga balya nga banywa, nga bawasa n’abalala nga bafumbirwa, olunaku ne lutuuka Nuuwa n’ayingira mu lyato,
39 and they knew it not till the deluge came, and swept them all away; such also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
abantu ne batamanya, amataba ne gajja ne gabasaanyaawo ne buli kintu, bwe kutyo n’okudda kw’Omwana w’Omuntu bwe kulibeera.
40 Then two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other dismissed.
Mu biseera ebyo abasajja babiri baliba bakola mu nnimiro, omu n’atwalibwa omulala n’alekebwa.
41 Two women grinding at the mill; the one taken, the other dismissed.
Abakazi babiri baliba basa ku mmengo zaabwe mu nnyumba y’emu, omu n’atwalibwa omulala n’alekebwa.”
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not at what hour your Master cometh.
“Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu, kubanga olunaku Mukama wammwe lw’aliddirako temulumanyi.
43 And this observe, that if the master of the family had known in which watch of the night the thief would have come, he would have watched, and not have suffered him to break into his house.
Naye mutegeere kino: ssinga ssemaka amanya essaawa omubbi w’anaayingirira okumenya ennyumba ye, yandisigadde ng’atunula, n’ataganya mubbi kumuyingirira.
44 Therefore be ye also prepared: for in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
Noolwekyo nammwe bwe mutyo mweteeketeeke, kubanga Omwana w’omuntu alijjira mu kiseera kye mutamulowoolezaamu.”
45 Who then is the faithful and provident servant, whom his Lord hath appointed over his household, to give them meat in the proper time?
“Kale aliwa omuddu omugezi era omwesigwa mukama we gwe yawa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabirira abaddu ab’omu maka ge, n’okubawa emmere mu kiseera ekituufu?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he cometh shall find thus occupied.
Alina omukisa omuddu oyo, mukama we gw’alisanga ng’akola bw’atyo.
47 Verily I say unto you, that he will place him over all his substance.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, alimukwasa ebintu bye byonna.
48 But if that wicked servant say in his heart, My master will be a long while ere he comes;
Naye obanga omuddu omubi bw’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Mukama wange tajja kudda mangu,’
49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
n’adda ku baddu banne, n’abakuba, n’alya, n’anywa n’abatamiivu, okutuusa lw’alidda.
50 the master of that servant will come in a day that he doth not expect him, and at an hour which he knoweth not.
Mukama w’omuddu oyo n’akomawo ku lunaku lw’atamusuubidde ne mu kiseera ky’atamanyi,
51 And will cut him asunder, and give him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
alimubonereza, era omugabo gwe guliba okubeera awamu n’abannanfuusi, eriba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.”
